Maggie’s Song of the day.

Never been a finger picker, always looked at them sideways. But, now, rethinking that. Just saying. Old age setting in I reckon.





This guy showed up recently (for me, anyhoo). With a 3 string, god-damn, shovel. He is very clean and disciplined. Maybe a bit like Vai. Maybe a bit too much like Vai - if that makes sense.

Maybe too clean.

I will not knock this as he is very talented for sure.

But I am now wondering if I missed the finger picker (and slide) boat holistically. Or even the clean fingered, too fast to comprehend, people. LOL.

Anyhoo-fuck 2020. Saying once again. Ugh. I cannot wait for this year to end. (He says before 2021 rears it's ugly fuckin' head.)
 
Stevie called Albert King his "other father"

No doubt. He was influenced by several Colins, several Kings. Stevie is the one that demonstrated what right looked liked emulating someones music IMO.

He loved Jimi, I loved Jimi, but SRV was his own creature.

No shit on someone who can do so:



I believe this is not the first post of this. SRV was, a force.

I was in the Army...

In Germany at that time. A large 6' bathtub. The AP announced it and I froze. Soaking sore muscles.

That bath went quite cold. For hours. Through the night. My ex though I was nuts. LOL. I wouldn't leave the tub.

I now live minutes from where that chopper went down, oddly enough. Been up there. Nothing. Just feeling plain. Life is a muthafucker. It never makes sense. Ever. We are all headed for that dirt nap.

Truth. What we do between now and then...

on us.

Yep, he left his mark on the world. 30 to 37 years later his music is still as listenable and influential as it was then, not a fad to be forgotten. It will be the same another 30 years from now.
